Stewart called Cheney a "s—ty" vice president. In particular,
Stewart took exception to Cheney's statement that Obama wanted to
reduce U.S. influence in the world.

"Even if Obama wanted to take our standing in the world
down a peg, he couldn't — because the Bush-Cheney administration
left him with no peg room," Stewart said.

He added: "The previous administration had left us in a bit
of a cash crunch. And by 'previous administration,' I mean these
[expletive]."

Stewart played clips of some of Cheney's opinion on the
Iraq War — including assertions that the U.S. would be "greeted
as liberators" and that Saddam Hussein had stockpiled weapons of
mass destruction.

"This guy was wrong every time — every time he analyzed it.
You try that at work."
